CAMAG Derivatizer

Automated spraying device for precise and reproducible derivatization reagent application to TLC and HPTLC plates.

The CAMAG Derivatizer sets a new standard of reproducibility and convenience in reagent transfer onto TLC/HPTLC plates by employing a unique “micro droplet” spraying technology (patent pending). The device is suitable for all common reagents.

In addition to the unsurpassed homogeneous reagent distribution, the CAMAG Derivatizer offers safer and more environmentally friendly reagent handling through a closed system, consistent results irrespective of the operator, low reagent consumption, intuitive operation and easy cleaning.
